SECTION/RULE §747.4503 - Are there additional safety requirements for bucket swings designed for tots?
Chapter Review Date 05/17/2024

Yes. Bucket swings are intended for use by children under four years of age with an adult present to lift and secure the child into the swing. Therefore, the distance between the surface under the swing and the bottom of a bucket swing must be at least 24 inches. This will minimize the likelihood of unsupervised young children climbing into the swing.
